So I had this idea last year to try and start a collection of stock references specifically for clothed figures in action for my comic Rune. Then, after going to Fanime in San Jose with some awesome homies, they gave me the idea to post some of it in case anyone else needs the same!

This is awesome and made me think of something you guys might find interesting. I used to have the Street Fighter Alpha 2 guide book and the pics in here were something like this. Not as many frames, but enough. So, you may be able to get references of your favorite game characters by looking in those books. Also [link] has some gifs of characters as well.

YES!! FightersGen is such a good resource for 2D sprite animations. Characters AND effects! That's the impressive thing about Japanese animation: their limited frame-count, and where they choose to hold and skip frames. So efficient and concise. Thanks for looking!

Hey found this link via Lesan fb group. Its sort of offtopic, but you have very good form Usually people doing fighting reference photos have no idea what they are doing. Good job and thanks for sharing.
